Happy Qatar GP, RotoBallers! Friday surprised us, with Ferrari topping the charts in Free Practice 1. However, McLaren returned to form to secure a 1-3 in Sprint Qualifying. Las Vegas winner George Russell split the papaya machines in his Mercedes.
There's still plenty of action to play out at the Lusail International Circuit, with the Sprint race, qualifying, and Grand Prix happening over the next two days. McLaren is the favorite to have a strong performance, but F1 Fantasy managers shouldn't overlook Mercedes, Ferrari, or Max Verstappen.
